PlayStation Now Becomes Useful

PlayStation Now is a pretty cool idea. 100's of PS3 games that you can stream to play over your PS4. While it is not true backwards compatibility it is pretty close, and if you never actually owned the games you could just play them from here. Downside is that it was super expensive comparatively to actually play the games. But that will soon no longer be a problem. Starting on 01/13/2015 you can subscribe to the service for $19.99 one month at a time or 3 months for $44.99 ($15.00 / month) for unlimited play of the entire catalog.

It is no small fact that you can find stuff from just about any fandom on Etsy.com. Ponies, anime, Doctor Who, etc. And for the most part the owners of these IPs look the other way on things being sold through this massive market.

That means as of now you can no longer find Portal patches, TF 2 trays, or Half Life hangers (no clue if two of those things actually existed).

I will be honest that I am a little surprised that this does not happen more often. With no quality control anything could go out with a companies brand on it, for good oor bad. But given the rarity of events like this it makes you wonder, is something is going down at the house Gabe built?
